Punjab ex-chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi has challenged again his detention orders for one month in the Lahore High Court (LHC).
A petition was filed in the LHC on behalf of Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi’s wife Qaisara Elahi.
Justice Shehram Sarwar Chaudhry of the LHC will hear the petition of Qaisara Elahi tomorrow.
The additional chief secretary (home), inspector general of prisons and others were made parties in the petition.
On Monday last, Pervaiz Elahi challenged the order of his detention for one month in the LHC.
A petition filed by Pervaiz Elahi had pleaded with the LHC to fix the plea for hearing on the same day and annul the orders of his detention.
The Punjab caretaker government had been made a party in the petition through the chief secretary.
Besides, the additional chief secretary (home), Punjab inspector general of police (IGP), IG prisons, and DG Anti-Corruption were also made parties in the petition.
“Cases were made on political grounds.
I have been in jail for over a month despite the bail has been granted in all the cases,” Pervaiz Elahi had stated in the petition.
“The court issued a notice of release to the jail authorities.
Instead
of releasing the petitioner, the deputy commissioner issued the detention orders,” he had added.
“Detention orders by the deputy commissioner are not in accordance with the law.
The court should declare the detention orders of Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi null and void,” he had demanded.
